The diary entries begin with negotiations at Waipukurau with Ngati Kahungunu leaders for land. The dominant figure in these negotiations is Te Hapuku and his speech so impressed McLean that a long translation of it is included. The following entries describe his progress into Hawkes Bay, negotiations for Ahuriri and on to Mohaka and to Poverty Bay. As with his other journals there are descriptions of places visited and Maori and Europeans met. It was on this journey that he first met William Colenso.
